An Integrated World Modeling Theory (IWMT) of Consciousness: Combining Integrated Information and Global Neuronal Workspace Theories With the Free Energy Principle and Active Inference Framework; Toward Solving the Hard Problem and Characterizing Agentic Causation

open access: yesFrontiers in Artificial Intelligence, 2020
The Free Energy Principle and Active Inference Framework (FEP-AI) begins with the understanding that persisting systems must regulate environmental exchanges and prevent entropic accumulation.

Four-Types of IIT-Induced Group Integrity of Plecoglossus altivelis

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
Integrated information theory (IIT) was initially proposed to describe human consciousness in terms of intrinsic-causal brain network structures. Particularly, IIT 3.0 targets the system’s cause–effect structure from spatio-temporal grain and reveals the

Integrated Information Coefficient Estimated from Neuronal Activity in Hippocampus-Amygdala Complex of Rats as a Measure of Learning Success

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2022
Background: The goal of the brain is to provide right on time a suitable earlier-acquired model for the future behavior. How a complex structure of neuronal activity underlying a suitable model is selected or fixated is not well understood.

Reply to Rourk, C. Comment on “Albantakis et al. Computing the Integrated Information of a Quantum Mechanism. Entropy 2023, 25, 449”

open access: yes, 2023
In response to a comment by Chris Rourk on our article Computing the Integrated Information of a Quantum Mechanism, we briefly (1) consider the role of potential hybrid/classical mechanisms from the perspective of integrated information theory (IIT), (2)

What if consciousness is not an emergent property of the brain? Observational and empirical challenges to materialistic models

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
The nature of consciousness is considered one of science’s most perplexing and persistent mysteries. We all know the subjective experience of consciousness, but where does it arise? What is its purpose? What are its full capacities? The assumption within

Contextuality in the Integrated Information Theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Integrated Information Theory (IIT) is one of the most influential theories of consciousness, mainly due to its claim of mathematically formalizing consciousness in a measurable way. However, the theory, as it is formulated, does not account for contextual observations that are crucial for understanding consciousness.

Non-Separability of Physical Systems as a Foundation of Consciousness

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
A hypothesis is presented that non-separability of degrees of freedom is the fundamental property underlying consciousness in physical systems. The amount of consciousness in a system is determined by the extent of non-separability and the number of ...

What Is Consciousness? Integrated Information vs. Inference

open access: yes, 2021
Any successful naturalistic account of consciousness must state what consciousness is, in terms that are compatible with the rest of our naturalistic descriptions of the world. Integrated Information Theory represents a pioneering attempt to do just this.

Machines and machinations: The integrated care record service in the UK national health service [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This paper examines the use of Actor Network Theory (ANT) as a lens to get a better understanding of the implementation of the Integrated Care Record Service (ICRS) in the UK National Health Service (NHS).
